I put off reading this book for a long time because <a href="https://wordery.com/girlboss-sophia-amoruso-9780241181041#oid=1159_1" target="new"><i>#GIRLBOSS</i></a> is the most vomit-inducing book title I can think of and now I have read it I wish I hadn't bothered. <a href="https://wordery.com/girlboss-sophia-amoruso-9780241181041#oid=1159_1" target="new"><i>#GIRLBOSS</i></a> is peculiar mix; it's a book that doesn't know whether it wants to be a memoir or if it wants to give business advice. Most of Sophia Amoruso's memories are irrelevant and self-absorbed, with humble brags littering the pages. Sophia constantly reminds readers of the "<i>meteoric rise of Nasty Girl</i>" and how her "<i>own profile has risen with it</i>" not to mention all that money she is making and how she gets "<i>congratulated on a daily basis</i>," and then she reels off a list of achievements just in case we didn't already realise how successful she is. I don't doubt Sophia probably has some wise words to share about running a business, it's the way she goes about sharing it that I have a problem with. You would do well to heed your own advice, Sophia: "<i>It’s not cool to get drunk on your own success.</i>"
